>how the X company could have been the next Apple/IBM/Microsoft if it weren't for evil/corrupt/incompetent politicians // Surely it's the other way around, companies only get this big and powerful by abusing their power, and probably politicians helping them (if only to boost a private share portfolio) instead of adding for the people? So if your political system works (applies morality to business, favours the demos over corporate power) you're not going to get these sorts of mega-corporations. Not sure if IBM fit that category, but Apple and Microsoft seem to.
